Synopsis "A Defense of the Nicene Definition: (De Decretis)"

St. Athanasius of Alexandria (298-373), Confessor and Doctor of the Church, was one of the principal architects of the Nicene Creed. He persisted throughout his life, in and out of persecution, in explaining and defending Christ's divinity and the teachings of the Nicene Council. In his Defense of the Nicene Definition, Athanasius defends the specific doctrine of the Council of Nicaea that the Father and the Son are "one in substance." Responding to Arian efforts to show from Scripture that Christ is a created being, Athanasius examines the witness of Isaiah and the Gospels, showing that Christ is an eternal person, because he possesses the same undivided divine substance as the Father. This translation by Bl. John Henry Newman, one of England's greatest modern theologians, combines the best of Newman's extensive scholarship of the Greek language and Early Church and his high mastery of English prose. He provides a clear and accessible entryway into the thought of one of the Church's greatest and holiest teachers.

John Henry Newman nació el 21 de febrero de 1801 en Londres y falleció el 11 de agosto de 1890 en Birmingham, Inglaterra. Educado en el Trinity College de Oxford, se convirtió en tutor del Oriel College y vicario de la iglesia universitaria de la ciudad. Durante esos años emergió como figura clave del llamado “Oxford Movement”, una corriente anglicana que buscaba revalorizar la herencia católica de la Iglesia de Inglaterra.

En 1845 Newman, tras una reflexión profunda sobre la continuidad histórica del cristianismo, se convirtió al catolicismo. A partir de ese momento se dedicó al sacerdocio católico, fundó la comunidad del Oratorio en Inglaterra y, en 1879, fue elevado al rango de cardenal por el papa León XIII. A lo largo de su vida escribió prolíficamente —ensayos, sermones, poemas—, abordando temas de fe, conciencia, educación y la relación entre razón y revelación.

En su obra destacan Apologia Pro Vita Sua, una defensa autobiográfica de su fe; y The Idea of a University, un tratado sobre el papel de la educación superior. Newman defendió la importancia de la conciencia personal, la formación integral de la persona y la búsqueda de la verdad como vocación. Su legado trasciende lo estrictamente religioso: también se le reconoce como un pensador de la cultura y la educación moderna.
